Looks like an Opel Manta to me.

I tried enlarging it to see if the rear bumper was full width, rather than the quarter bumpers of the GT.

Is that an aerial mount at the bottom of the rear window, atop the boot lid?

Those keep left signs/posts are a different. Were they all like that then, or they were slimmer to present less area to the wind in blowy Scotland?

Manta for sure, the area under the rear window is too big to be the GT, no fuel filler cap either. Also the C pillar area is too big to be the GT. Plus you can just see the air vent in the C pillar area:

I'll opt for Birgit.

Perhaps she looks less fierce when not walking the cat? I suspect her hairdressers bills may be beyond my means.

eek Why I am now thinking of Max Mosley and how Alonso is a very naughty boy for stealing Massa's clean air in Q3, and once more he has the telemetry to prove it? Perhaps it's the gloves.

Do we think the Manta A Black Magic had rear seatbelts?
